they should do... the markers arent flush.

Measure them if you're in doubt.

PS - you need a bit more camber outside edge has been getting a bit hot

Those other tyres will pass too Adam, there's technically nothing wrong with them.

how come? they are pretty much bald on the far right.

I know it sounds a bit pikey all this but I really dont want to have to buy a pair of tyres for the standard (5.5j) front wheels when im not keeping them much longer

As said, needs to be across 75% of the tyre that's all, no cord showing though
